A Convenient Truth: Urban Solutions from Curitiba, Brazil by giodb
On 2007-04-10 07:35:25 (viewed 107 times)
Average Rating: 2.99 (9884 votes)   Tags: affordable | city | environment | global | green | housing | planning | recycling | sustainability | transportation | warming

Category: Energy
What's it about? This is the trailer of a documentary I made about a green city in Brazil that has overcome a lot of problems most cities are still trying to solve. My doc focuses on solutions in the areas of Transportation, Recycling, Affordable Housing, and Floodplains.

How does your video demonstrate your commitment to the environment? I feel its my duty to show the world a place where solutions are a reality. Being from Brazil, an environmentalist, as well as a young filmmaker, I felt it was my duty to show that cities do not have to start fresh with solutions; they can look at a succesful model and adapt ideas to make a better place for all of us.

A kid, a car, and an idea by YellowBeetle
On 2007-04-05 15:11:43 (viewed 89 times)
Average Rating: 2.93 (5467 votes)   Tags: biodiesel | conversion | oil | vegetable | wvo

Category: Resources
What's it about? This is a video starring my 7-year-old son and our yellow Beetle that runs on used vegetable oil. We used to buy gas twice a week, now we go once every few months.

How does your video demonstrate your commitment to the environment? I wanted to reduce my footprint by using alternative fuels, and chose used vegetable oil because it is widely available (free, actually) and is a much cleaner fuel than gasoline. While biofuels are getting lots of attention lately, there are very few choices actually available today for an individual. Our video shows how the car works and explores the larger possibilities.

What's it about? This is a video showcasing my car that has been converted to run on Waste Vegetable Oil (WVO). Using a bio-fuel like WVO is a great way to reduce your impact on the environment.

How does your video demonstrate your commitment to the environment? This video shows my commitment to the environment by explaining the steps I have taken to turn a waste product into fuel for my car, rather than being dependent on fossil fuels that contribute to climate change and war.

Category: Resources
What's it about? We did this as a project for our Social Justice class. I got a message from someone saying I should enter it here, so, I did. We go to a catholic school, so that's why there's the underlying God message. Hopefully it'll be acceptable.

How does your video demonstrate your commitment to the environment? Our video touches on many aspects of environmental issues. We showcase the problems with littering, chemical dumping, hunting, and deliver an overall positive message of caring for the enviornment.

Car Washing Goes Green by Going Waterless by LeDude
On 2007-04-20 08:21:35 (viewed 610 times)
Average Rating: 3.07 (8850 votes)   Tags: car wash | environment | waterless

Category: Resources
What's it about? This video shows how 'waterless' car washing is a great alternative to the traditional soap & bucket method. The video features Eco Touch, a non-toxic, biodegradable, and petrochemical-free waterless car wash.

How does your video demonstrate your commitment to the environment? Washing your car at home can use between 80 - 140 gallons of water. This water is contaminated with harmful run-off including harsh detergents, brake dust, gasoline, etc which affects both human and aquatic life. By going 'waterless' you help to preserve & conserve our water supplies.
